Director of Finance

CW+ is the official charity of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, working in close partnership with the Trust to support outstanding patient care across hospitals, clinics and community services serving more than 1.5 million people.

We fund projects that go beyond statutory NHS funding, investing in world-class facilities, healthcare innovation and research, staff wellbeing, and a distinctive arts and design programme that transforms hospital spaces.

We are also delivering Thirty at Thirty, our most ambitious fundraising initiative to date, aiming to raise £30m over five years.

CW+ is seeking an exceptional Director of Finance to safeguard financial integrity and resilience, and to provide the strategic insight that enables CW+ to maximise its impact in a complex and evolving NHS environment.

Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the Board of Trustees (including the Finance & Investment Committee) as a senior member of the SMT, you will lead financial strategy, planning and governance, ensuring that every pound entrusted to CW+ is managed with the highest standards of stewardship, transparency and accountability.

You will oversee all aspects of financial leadership, work alongside investment managers to support the administration and management of CW+’s investment and property portfolios, and partner across the organisation; supporting innovation, fundraising and programme delivery with rigorous appraisal, modelling and decision support.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role at the heart of CW+’s leadership, strengthening controls and insight, enabling disciplined resource allocation and supporting sustainable growth. xwzovoh
